I had a town list of 30 of whom I saw 17 walking at first + then cycling on my way to + from Fairnilea + Peelburnfoot. David1 having to go to Carterhaugh + Kirkhope did Oakwood. Helen2 paid the books in the forenoon + in the afternoon some accounts + got £2 stolen (she thinks) by a girl in And. Douglas’ shop3. Got P.C. [post card] from Rennie4, he says he could take me.
